Entrepreneur Gary Vee gives advice to upcoming fighters

Gary Vee is often associated with the world of business and entrepreneurialism. However, he recently gave his opinion on MMA fighters and martial artists who were looking to promote their brand and tap into the financial aspects of combat sports.

Speaking to Lethwei legend Dave Leduc, Gary Vee said “Posting different stuff, not just fighting, like if they’re into cooking or skiing – they need to talk about other stuff, and that matters.” This was in response to Leduc’s question that centered around the idea of how to make a career out of fighting. Leduc also chimed in that you effectively needed to utilize social media and vlogging to show off your hobbies and lifestyle.

Although this idea may sound obvious to some, it is still untapped by many. For instance, even though MMA has fighters such as Sean O’Malley and Paddy Pimblett who have large social media followings – many do not. In fact, the vast majority of successful fighters and martial artists don’t really promote themselves as well as they could do.

Ultimately, this is the point of Gary Vee who is arguably a true master of self promotion and building a brand. So, if you’re a budding fighter who wants to maximize your earning potential, then this is something to consider!
